Wednesday, March 8, 2017

The St.Thomas Church is now the Diu Museum. After visiting the St. Paul's church, we sat in the rickshaw and the rickshaw driver brought us here.

The church was converted into a museum in the year 1992. The artifacts in its premises are around 400 years old. The museum visiting timings are from 9 AM to 9 PM all days.

The museum is very small in size. The inside is painted white. The color common in all Portuguese built churches. The color has pealed off in certain portions. The museum is not very maintained.
There are plenty of religious statues in its premises.They are kept in a orderly manner. But there are too many of them, and most of them don't have any details about them. So if I would like to know more about a particular statue, I don't know who to ask? There is no curator either.

It took us 10 minutes to see the museum.

From there we headed off to see the Naida Caves.
